From the end of Chapter 14, complete Discussion Question 3: What are the main advantages of using a network-based approach to project management rather than a Gantt chart? Under what circumstances might a Gantt chart be preferable to a network-based approach? Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings. Reading from the text, the main advantage(s) of using a network based-approach to project management rather than a Gantt chart is that “Network diagrams improve on Gantt charts by visually showing the linkages between various activities” (Bozarth, C.C. and Handfield, R.B. pg.443 (2012) I think a circumstance that might be preferable to a Gantt chart would be a construction build for an office building, parking garage, or playground. This graphical tool is great for showing expected start and end times for project activities, and being able to track actual progress against these time targets.

Unlike grant based approaches, Network based let you actually see the connection between different tasks. This is important when you have tasks that need to be done but you don't really know how long it will take In a Gantt chart, it shows a time-frame on when tasks need to be completed. So with this being said, if you do not know how long certain tasks in a project will take and there are various different tasks that must be completed while needing to know how they correlate to other tasks, you should use a network based approach. If you have a time frame for each task a Gantt based approach will be sufficient. (Bozarth, Handfield 2012) As stated, a Gantt based approach has a time frame for each task. I think this approach will be great in an
